A strong effort from Jean-Luc Thunevin, Clos Badon’s 2005 displays plenty of cassis fruit, black cherries, licorice and underbrush. It is full-bodied, approachable and opulent, nicely textured, pure, long and fruit-driven. This is a big wine (larger-framed than usual) and best drunk over the next 12-15+ years.

(a 50/50 blend of cabernet franc and merlot) Bright ruby-red. Deep, inviting aromas of black cherry and minerals. Sweet, dense, pure and fine-grained, with ripe, nicely buffered acidity. Very fresh and primary wine. Finishes with good palate-coating length and noteworthy vibrancy. Very 2005 in style.

Aromas of blackberry, toasty oak, coffee and fresh herbs follow through to a full body, with chewy tannins and a medium finish. Best after 2012. 415 cases made. -JS
